Kids Unscripted; Chapter 8

Talia: (to me about Elias eating little pieces of banana) "He's like a whale eating up little people!"
Me: "Whaaat! That's morbid!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talia: "Why would it be bad if an elephant was in your room and it turned into a balloon?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talia: "Bottles, cups, bowls... I can drink out of almost any dish!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talia: "Those are silent words, aren't they?"
Me: "I guess if I'm just reading them in my head..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talia: "Tickles make me feel itchy!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talia: "What's that?" (pointing to a paisley shape) "It looks like mean eyes or a tear sideways."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talia: "I think my nose is confected..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talia: "I love you more than a duckie loves water!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Me: (to Talia) "You have something on your nose."
Talia: "It might be an eagle..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talia: (explaining a drawing of her version of the inside of a dinosaur) "and this is the dinosaur's ear muscles!"
Me: "Why does a dinosaur need ear muscles?"
Talia: "This is a special dinosaur that moves with its ears."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talia: "Elias, you're not supposed to share boogers!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talia: "Mommy, I think this crayon is a violet red and this one is a violent red."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talia: (eating tuna) "Is this what whales taste like?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talia: (eating soup) "It burns my throat but it doesn't catch it on fire."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talia: "What happens if you sit on the moon?"
Me: "You wouldn't be able to breathe..."
Talia: "But not if you climbed down the tree beside it."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Me: "Wow, Talia, you read fast today!"
Talia: "It's 'cause I'm smart from eating tuna..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talia: (squirting lotion on her legs) "Ooooh, it looks like Arabic letters!"
